0 on From the Batman News Desk: A Theme That Lasts ForeverWelcome to From the Batman News Desk, a new series of op-eds and articles covering various aspects of Batman history. Each week one of the Batman News writers will share their thoughts on Batman characters and concepts across comics, film, television, and more. In 1995, the so-called "MTV Generation" was already in full swing. Bands…
We’re sad to hear that writer Peter David has passed away, his family has announced. David had a long career in comics, prose, and television. Perhaps his best known work was his 12-year run on The Incredible Hulk, which defined multiple aspects of this character that are still in place to this day, most notably…

There's hardly a character out there with more action figures based on them than the Dark Knight himself, so there's plenty of toyetic goodness to…
There will always be new Batman products, be it toys or books or comics or any number of other collectibles. Go into practically any store and you’ll find something with Batman on it, even if it’s a shirt or some bedsheets.
